Below is a review by Bob Leggett of Ramsey's show at the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2012.

What can I say about OohLaLa, the absolute gem of the
Fringe! Ramsey is a total delight. It’s obvious she learned from the
best, as her mentor was Smith (T*O*T*A*L*L*Y), winner of Best of the
Fringe 2010.

Ramsey is totally likable – you feel for her frustrations in the love
quest. You want to rescue her cause you relate to how hard it is to
find true love.

I had the honor of watching the performance sitting next to Ramsey’s
mom, who figures prominently in the story. It made it all feel so much
more real, knowing that her mom would tell me if anything Ramsey said
was false – all her mom did was laugh.

Hollywood Fringe Festival - June 14-24

After seeing a few bombs last week, I was so glad that I could start
my weekend off with a true hit – it made the rest of the night easier to
swallow!

I highly recommend this show and am nominating it for Best of the Fringe 2012.

Believe it or not, all these photos were taken in just ONE photo session. Such a wide range of shots, expressions and attitude encapsulated in a very short time frame. Ramsey brought A LOT to the table. She had great energy, enthusiasm and a willingness to try new things. The important key is "willingness!!!"

I was honored to photograph Ramsey and am deeply grateful that she trusted me on this photo shoot. She took direction very well which is important because sometimes a "moment" can be so fleeting and can only be captured in an instant, a blink of an eye, which means timing, preparation, intuition, decisiveness and luck all must coincide like a perfect storm. The same way a storm can create a beautiful rainbow when all the elements align perfectly.

Help.YOUR help please.

Dear Magazine Editors/Art Directors/Creative Directors/Photo Editors/Assistants/Secretaries/Friends who know people who could possibly help me get a break so that I can pursue my dream of being a TOP photographer. YOU may have a connection in your Rolodex/Linkedin® account. It's a small little world, so I just thought I'd ask. Perhaps you know someone who can use a trilingual photographer for their catalogue/pamphlet/in-house marketing.
